Forms, as well as shapes, are elements that take up a specific space in the frame in a particular way and both of them can create points in a photograph. In photography, form is the three-dimensional representation of a shape. Despite the fact that images are two-dimensional, forms can still give ...
A Dutch angle, also known as Dutch tilt, canted angle, oblique angle or German angle, is a type of camera shot where the camera is set at an angle on its roll axis so that the shot is composed with vertical lines at an angle to the side of the frame, or so that the horizon line of the shot is not ...
Selective focus is the use of limited depth of field to focus sharply on a specific object in a scene, while other parts are clearly out-of-focus. Selective focus is an editing technique that can be used to make specific objects stand out in a photograph. Without selective focus, this task can ...
The subject matter of a photograph is the primary object being photographed for a project or the primary subject of interest on which a photographer focuses. Some examples of subject matter are landscapes, faces, skyscrapers or candid street images. The subject is the main object in the picture, ...
Background lighting is a controlled technique of lighting, used in photography or the theater, in which a light is placed behind or at right angles to an object, person, or scene to produce such effects as depth or separation of subject and background. Backlighting relates to a design of lighting ...
In digital photography, a subordinate point is a point whose placement is determined secondarily to other visual elements. Nonetheless, subordinate points can be crucial to how well an image works. For example, the elements that most strongly influence the composition of a full-length portrait will ...
One point perspective is a method that shows how things appear to get smaller as they get further away, converging towards a single 'vanishing point' on the horizon line. A vanishing point is "the point at which parallel lines appear to converge". The reason we perceive a vanishing point when ...
A means of producing a three-dimensional image onto a two-dimensional surface by the use of lines, mainily by using real world parallel lines and making them converge in the plane of the photograph. Converging parallel lines that move away from us appear to converge at the horizon. Sides of ...
